Kennedy Speaks On Injuries, MVP's Losing Streak Continues, More

The Winnipeg Sun has an interview with SmackDown wrestler Mr. Kennedy today and he told them he's grown tired of being labeled injury-plagued. "People say I'm snakebit, I'm plagued by injuries," Kennedy said. "It's the nature of our business. Injuries happen. It was a freak injury for me. Batista clotheslined me and I injured my triceps when I hit the mat." Kennedy then points out other WWE stars who have spent time on the shelf due to injuries like him. "If you look at Rey Mysterio ... The Undertaker. He's out once a year ... Triple H ... John Cena. He was out twice in the last year," Kennedy said. "It is frustrating for me. I'm not as accomplished as those guys. They accomplished a lot more before they got injured. I hope I don't get a moniker attached to the end of my name." Kennedy is expected to be able to return to the ring on February 28, but it could be sooner. "I may be back sooner than you think," Kennedy said. Kennedy also talks about how big of a video gamer he is. "Besides relaxing and spending time with my wife and my dog, I've been playing lots of games — Wii, Xbox 360 and on the computer," Kennedy says. "I'm a nerd, a geek. I love Warcraft. I've crossed into super geekdom. I just beat Gears of Wars 2. I played 130 hours of Zelda when it came out."
